Glyde: Verizon announces Samsung Glyde VCAST messaging phone

Glyde: Verizon announces Samsung Glyde VCAST messaging phone
One whole day earlier than I expected, Verizon Wireless dropped the Samsung Glyde upon us.  This touchscreen and QWERTY-board handset packs a boatload of features into a relatively small Blue body that's a slightly shrunken down take on Sammy's F700 Ultra Smart.  Glyde gives you a 2.8" touchscreen with haptic feedback, side-sliding QWERTY, 2MP camera with auto-focus, flash, and video capture, GPS with VZ Navigator (location based services), and full HTML browser.  Wait,...

Glyde: VZW launch Samsung U940 "Glyde" on May 9 for $299

Glyde: VZW launch Samsung U940 Glyde on May 9 for $299
I know, you're already in line to buy an enV2 at your local VZW store, and just killing time reading my blog until it's your turn at the register.  I'm not saying you shouldn't pull the trigger on that purchase, but I am saying if you're on the fence between LG's new messaging handset and something a little more powerful, you might want to hold off another week or so. A few outlets are reporting that VZW is all set to launch the Samsung Glyde U940 in May, and Engadget Mobile's going so...

When? When?: Photos of the Samsung/VZW Glyde in the wild
We were hoping for Verizon's take on the Samsung F700 - the "Glyde" - to surface at CTIA a few weeks ago.  No such luck.  But the QWERTY-packing smartphone does exist and is on tap for a VZW release sometime before too, too long, as evidenced by the latest set of spy shots to surface over on Engadget Mobile. Looks like Glyde is still an F700 with a watered down camera and custom VZW menus in place of Samsung's Croix UI (at least they kept the camera flash, right?).  I got a...

Nokia: Mobile Remade

Nokia: Mobile Remade
CTIA 2008 in Las Vegas brought a lot of cool product introductions, including the highly touted Samsung Instinct, which is following in the footsteps of the Helio Ocean ($174) being touted as the "iPhone Killer." But, I have to say that my favorite device of the entire show, was the Nokia Remade – a purely concept device that doesn't make a single call or even send texts. Announced at the end of last year, the Remade is a slight yellow and silver clamshell that is made entirely of recycled...

Test drive: Parrot minikit
Unlike the majority of my family and friends, my car did not come fully equipped with built in hands free Bluetooth compatibility to allow me to talk on my mobile while driving with my hands at 10 and 2. This really wasn't a problem for me until California passed the hands-free law, and now, I can't drive and talk with the phone up to my ear. I tried getting used to the Bluetooth headset and just couldn't do it.  Although the Samsung WEP420 by Bang & Olufsen fits nicely and was...

Verizon's Gleam is now availble!

Verizon announced today the Samsung Gleam with its "live wallpaper" is available for purchase $149 with a two year contract. - Too pricey if you ask me :(
